A typical project at Michael D'Angelo Landscape Architecture runs between $50,000 and $1 million, by the firm's own Houzz listing — this is designed landscape work: sunken gardens, bluestone terraces, pool surrounds and rooftop decks, taken from plan through construction. Its written record runs 2015 to 2022: ten Houzz reviews, all five stars. In a 2016 review, a client described him replacing an asphalt driveway at the back of the house with a bluestone patio and a brick auto court. Another client that year had knocked down an old house and built a new one, and wrote that he landscaped the challenging lot left behind, working between the town's restrictions and what the family wanted, on a plan they called beautiful and cost-sensitive. A 2020 review covers a sunken garden redesign behind a South End brownstone; the newest, from 2022, describes backyard work finished on time and at what the client called a reasonable price. Several of those accounts come from architects who collaborated with him rather than from the homeowners who hired him — a 2019 reviewer wrote as the firm designing a new house in the Boston suburbs. His Better Business Bureau page carries an A+ grade. He is the right call for a homeowner planning a designed landscape with a real budget behind it, and less so for a single planting or a small repair. Ask how design work is billed against construction management, and who would actually build it: reviewers in 2018 and 2015 described him running a bid process, picking the contractor and overseeing the installation.
I hired this company to do some work in my backyard and they exceeded my expectations. They were polite, professional, and easy to work with. The work was done on time and for a reasonable price. I was so impressed with the work you did and it looks amazing! I'm very happy with the results
Mike redesigned an outdoor sunken garden for my South End brownstone. I was looking for a modern aesthetic in a small space. He did a great job incorporating all of the elements I was looking for. He was timely, responsive, and helped managed all elements of the project from design to bid to construction oversight. A real pleasure to work with.
Michael did a great job collaborating with our firm in designing the landscape for a new house completed in the Boston Suburbs in 2018. Michael worked directly with the Client, but he was eager to understand the architectural design and have the landscape become an extension of the house. This was particularly true with Michael’s design of the terrace, with seating and plantings that created a continuity of the family room. I highly recommend Michael for his hard work and talented aesthetic.
Mike is a talented, well rounded landscape architect that knows all aspects of the profession. He is detailed oriented, client focused and above all passionate about his craft. I would highly recommend MDLA for your project.
Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He got to know us and our needs/wants, proposed a beautiful design, helped us run a brief but thorough bid process and select a great contractor, and managed the implementation to make sure it got implemented flawlessly while still being efficient with his time and diplomatic/fair to all involved. Throughout the process, he was responsive, patient, organized, and passionate about delivering a great result. And he did it all with a cheerful demeanor that things more enjoyable for everyone involved. And most importantly, the end result is magnificent! Highly recommended.
